I've always thought Hallie was cute, but it's quite nicknamey. I don't mind it on its own, but if I used it I'd want it as a nn for Harriet. I've known a few Hallies, pretty sure that was their full name. I much prefer Hallie to Hayley, and Hallie is the only spelling that looks right to me. I don't think it's very tied to Halle Berry because of how she spells it. I don't think of her when I hear it, anyway.

Ohhhh I know there are people who would pronounce Hallie like Hayley, and then I would look at them like they're crazy. Because phonetically that makes no sense. But I once encountered someone who named their daughter Halley or Hallee or something and pronounced it like Hayley. Poor girl, she'll have all kinds of trouble with that one, and sure doesn't make her parents look too intelligent!
